Resolution 9 That the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised for the purposes of section 701 Companies Act 2006, to make market purchases (within the meaning of section 693(4) Companies Act 2006) of ordinary shares of one penny each in the capital of the Company on such terms and in such manner as the Directors shall from time to time determine, provided that: |
|
a. the maximum number of ordinary shares hereby authorised to be purchased is 5,536,011;
b. the minimum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for an ordinary share is one cent;
c. the maximum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for an ordinary share shall be not more than the higher of: (i) an amount equal to 105 per cent. of the average of the middle market quotations for an Ordinary Share (as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List) for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which that Ordinary Share is contracted to be purchased; and (ii) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an ordinary share and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out;
d. the authority hereby conferred shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the passing of this Resolution, or the date which falls 15 months after the date on which this Resolution 9 is passed, whichever is the earlier (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed by the Company in general meeting prior to such time); and
e. the Company may at any time prior to the expiry of such authority enter into such a contract or contracts under which a purchase of ordinary shares under such authority will or may be completed or executed wholly or partly after the expiration of such authority and the Company may purchase ordinary shares in pursuance of any such contract or contracts as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
All votes cast were proxy votes received in advance of the meeting. Accordingly, the proxy votes received by the Company are identical to the above.
As at the date of this announcement, the Company's issued share capital was 36,931,359 ordinary shares of US$0.01 each. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote in relation to all circumstances at general meetings of the Company, and the Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Accordingly, the total voting rights in the Company at the time of the AGM were 36,931,359.
Resolution 10 THAT, a general meeting of the Company (other than an Annual General Meeting) may be called on not less than 14 days' notice.
